I had one of those bazillion watt rechargeable spotlights. It cost about $49 new. When the two 6 volt batteries would no longer hold a charge, I sought to purchase two replacements. They were $26 each. No more light.
If you REALLY want a shocker, try pricing the Romex in something like a small 25 ft. package................... Cost per ft. is through the roof! At least that's been my experience.
